Laser gun for an arcade game

Abstract

A laser gun for an arcade game that provides a water mist in the path of the laser to allow an illumination of the laser path. The illuminated laser path provides a visible path for the contestants and provides an aesthetically pleasing effect.

We claim:  
     
       1. A laser gun for an arcade game comprising: 
       a main body assembly having a first end;  
       a handle attached to said main body assembly;  
       a nozzle attached to said first end of said main body assembly; and  
       a laser disposed in said main body assembly, when actuated, to shoot through said nozzle and be aimed towards an arcade game target, wherein said nozzle has at least one hole for spraying a mist to be illuminated by said laser.  
     
     
       2. The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a gun stand attached to said main body assembly. 
     
     
       3. The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said laser hitting said target actuates an indicator on said arcade game. 
     
     
       4. The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said nozzle has at least a first hole and a second hole, said first hole providing an outlet from a first conduit for compressed air and said second hole providing an outlet from a second conduit for water to create a mist to be illuminated by said laser. 
     
     
       5. The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein said second conduit includes at least one check valve. 
     
     
       6. The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said nozzle is comprised of a clear material. 
     
     
       7. The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein said clear material is selected from the group consisting of glass, plastic, and plexiglass. 
     
     
       8. The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein said nozzle includes at least one LED mounted inside said nozzle to be viewed through said clear material. 
     
     
       9. A laser gun for an arcade game comprising: 
       a main body assembly having a first end;  
       a handle attached to said main body assembly;  
       a nozzle attached to said first end of said main body assembly; and  
       a laser disposed in said nozzle, when actuated, to shoot through said nozzle and be aimed towards an arcade game target, wherein said nozzle has at least one hole for spraying a mist to be illuminated by said laser.  
     
     
       10. The apparatus of  claim 9  further comprising a gun stand attached to said main body assembly. 
     
     
       11. The apparatus of  claim 9  wherein said laser hitting said target actuates an indicator on said arcade game. 
     
     
       12. The apparatus of  claim 9  wherein said nozzle has at least a first hole and a second hole, said first hole providing an outlet from a first conduit for compressed air and said second hole providing an outlet from a second conduit for water to create a mist to be illuminated by said laser. 
     
     
       13. The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein said second conduit includes at least one check valve. 
     
     
       14. The apparatus of  claim 9  wherein said nozzle is comprised of a clear material. 
     
     
       15. The apparatus of  claim 14  wherein said clear material is selected from the group consisting of glass, plastic, and plexiglass. 
     
     
       16. The apparatus of  claim 14  wherein said nozzle includes at least one LED mounted inside said nozzle to be viewed through said clear material. 
     
     
       17. A laser gun for an arcade game comprising: 
       a main body assembly having a first end;  
       a handle attached to said main body assembly;  
       a nozzle attached to said first end of said main body assembly; and  
       a laser mounted inside said laser gun, when actuated, to shoot through said nozzle and be aimed towards a target;  
       wherein said laser hitting said target actuates an indicator on said arcade game,  
       said nozzle has at least one hole for spraying a mist to be illuminated by said laser,  
       said nozzle is comprised of a clear material, and  
       said nozzle includes at least one LED mounted inside said nozzle to be viewed through said clear material.
